I couldn't stand looking at my last two Black Skaven sitting on my desk half painted, it was driving me nuts.

With some trepidation I picked up a brush with my sinister hand and the results are in;

The Ayatollah of rock and rolla, the bringer of base armed with a mace,

er...sword. Swords are good too.

The standard bearer turned out a bit crap frankly.

For some reason my dark tone wash just sucked the colour right out of him, I think it was due to the bottle being near empty so possibly the pigment settled at the bottom. On the plus side I think the skeletal bracket and topper turned out fine.

As I said last post the ruinous powers are fickle, I like to think I've gotten some kind of ambidexterity; they turned out pretty good, for my sinister hand at least.

Here are the last of my skaven to finish up for this leg of the marathon;

Not sure if I'll use gnawdoom (3rd from right), I really like how festerlice turned out

But he'll get painted up anyway. I am lucky enough to have 3 of him so I could use them as poison wind globadiers down the road.

I've also been lucky enough to have familiars for my sorcerers so this little guy has to get finished up as well;

I'll just use them as clanrats unless I get an opponent who wants to eschew the armies book and play an open game using whatever you like, which to me is what the game was designed for.

I've also managed to get some organization done;

I'm less than halfway but it was humbling to realize how much unpainted lead I've got. I'm sure we all have a ton of it.

I can't wait to get this power glove off and get started on some 40k, painting up 20 models for a full game sounds very appealing right about now.

Thanks for watching and please comment. I'd like to hear what y'all think :)
